I go with Saramonic, it’s the best I think. Good testing Larry. I love these kind of mics because plug and play, no wire. But if you need to be far like 15ft, not so great. Within 3-6ft are good.

This was such a comprehensive and super helpful video. It is amazing how different people prefer different sounds for different purposes/projects. For me, who needs the mic mostly for self-taped auditions indoors, the Shure has hands down the best sound for that. It is the most "TV/film" like speech sound as opposed to the others that sound more broadcast-y. Thank you so much, you helped me make a decision after some excruciating hours of research. 😆

Great content, keep up the good work! Question... Which of these Mics would you recommend for recording a music concert from the audience? I am leaning towards the Edutige since I can control the gain with an app, but I am not sure if it will have enough low end frequency to feel the drums better... Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks!

I record car audio equipment, and BASS makes clip and limit the internal mic. Wich mic would you use for that enviroment with high DB and loud sound . With every other device i dont have any problem, just on 12 promax

Sounds to me like you might just need to download a camera app that will give you manual control over your audio. Check out something like filmic Pro or the Moment Pro Camera app. However I would recommend getting the Rode Wireless go to because not only is it a wireless microphone but it also is a 32-bit float recorder so it's going to be virtually impossible for you to clip your audio. The only way you're going to really mess up your audio is if your sound is so loud that it just overloads the microphones.

This is really helpful thank you! I just got a diety d4 and the videos showed it being so easy to connect to iphone, but even after buying several adaptors I still couldn’t get my phone to accept that it was a mic not headphones. Have you had any issues with any of these mics being recognized by your iPhone?

@@TodayIFeelLike ah ok thank you. I used to record a race car with a Samsung and with Galaxy buds as microphone and it was fine but unfortunately my iPhone doesn’t record through the galaxy buds (same exact car) and causes the sound to cut in and out. I’m wondering would the iPhone do better with AirPods like the Samsung did with the galaxy buds. Thanks for info though

At 2:13 its native mic but you boosted volume in post? If not, thats not bad...but you got to be relatively close with no loud bg noise, THATS when you need the external. Rhode is great at home when its close AND NEEDS post processing, less bg and more richer sound BUT I want a mic that just sounds GOOD without post. Wow on Saramonic BUT if I'm out and about I wonder if its a little too big. I got an Edutige EIM 003 with adaptor and special mount and its a cleaner & richer sound than native but too quiet, need boost 200-300% maybe even (like many of these). The Edutige EIM 001 WAS WAY TOO HOT (lots clipping even whispering)!!!! HOW DID YOU MAKE IT NOT CLIP NONSTOP? Shure as usual too quiet for such expensive price, I guess you could use their app to tweak sound but I want SIMPLE AND GO GO GO. Also you can get open bottomed cases, I even found one for iPhone 13 Pro. I think it'd work with SHURE. If at home recording I use an adaptor so it doesn't need to go directly into my phone but got a mount on a tripod with cold/hot shoe to hold my Rode Video Mic ME-L. Palovue sucky sound. Sennheiser too quiet and meh.

I'm torn between the Saramonic SmartMic+ and the Edutige EIM 001. Which one is best for filming purposes?

@TodayIFeelLike

2 жыл бұрын

The best ways that I use to knock down when I'm filming myself is to use a wireless microphone and place that microphone underneath my clothing that way my clothing knocks down the wind. Contrary to popular belief microphones are not picking up audio coming directly from your mouth they're picking up audio that's coming more from your chest and throat area. So if you have a lavalier microphone something like a Rode Wireless Go or a Saramonic Blink 500 Pro and you have the transmitter underneath your clothing you're still going to capture your audio just fine and your clothing will knock down that wind. Now if you're using a shotgun microphone or another type of microphone that's on the camera itself you're going to want to use a dead cat or what some people call a furry wind puff so that can knocks down the wind. Generally the bigger the furry dead cat the more effective it is.

Wind cancelling was on on the Palovue, that's why it sounded so bad and digital. I liked the MV88 and the Saramonic. Why the Rode is so low on gain is beyond me...

@TodayIFeelLike

Жыл бұрын

I don’t know why the gain on the Rode is so low either it makes no sense. I really like the MV88 the biggest problem for me is you can’t shoot with that microphone unless you put your phone in airplane mode which means you can’t live stream with it on the go also, it means if you start shooting with it and you forget to turn on airplane mode you’re likely going to have to re-shoot because you will have ruined your footage with bad audio. That’s one of the main reasons why I stopped using that mic, because there have been so many times I forgot to put the phone in airplane mode, only to find out that I had bad footage because of the audio
